The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 890

Chapter 890

As soon as Raon heard that the Iron Brigade had sent an urgent request for support, he rushed to the audience chamber.

“I see the

He knelt before Glenn, who was standing by the throne and looking out the window.

Glenn turned slowly and gestured for him to rise.

“Thank

Raon bowed his head once more to Glenn and then stood up.

“I heard that the Iron Brigade sent an urgent request for

“It seems the Vice-President was the first to tell

Glenn looked at Chad, who was standing behind Raon, and nodded calmly.

“As he said, an urgent request for support came in a while ago. It’s not as common for the Iron Brigade to request support first, though they’re not as strong as the Whirlwind Brigade, they’ve grown a lot while carrying out difficult

He held a letter that seemed to have been sent by the Iron Brigade Commander, Travin, and lowered his eyebrows.

“That must mean the mission is quite

Raon let out a heavy sigh.

“The mission originally given to the Iron Brigade was not

Glenn shook his head, exhaling a short breath.

“What was the Iron Brigade’s initial mission?”

Raon’s eyes widened at the Iron Brigade’s mission, which was different from his expectations.

‘Did something serious happen during scouting?’

Scouting missions were tedious and time-consuming as they only circled the Zig Hart territory, but they weren’t very dangerous.

He was worried about what had happened to necessitate an urgent request for support.

“If you go northeast beyond Zig Hart’s territory, you’ll find a nomadic village called Bodri. It was already quite large, but it has grown even bigger now with people who lost their homes and villages in the

Glenn suddenly brought up the story of the Bodri village, which had nothing to do with Zig Hart.

“Yes, I

He nodded, as he had seen the Bodri village from afar.

“Apparently, the Iron Brigade was returning to the family after completing their scouting mission, but they received a request for help from the village to stop the

“Commander Travin would have definitely agreed to

Raon chuckled softly, picturing Travin’s face.

‘He would have definitely

Travin was someone who had recognized him as a swordsman, even when he was weak and had a low position.

He would have readily agreed to help the nomads, even though they were not affiliated with Zig Hart.

“That’s right. He asked for my permission first, so I told him to

Glenn smiled faintly, saying that Travin had reported to him first.

“The

“If that village disappears too, the nomads will be left with

He nodded his chin, as if it was obvious.

“That’s

Raon slightly raised his lips, feeling the warmth flickering in Glenn’s dry eyes.

“The first report said that a small number of monsters were appearing continuously. They said they weren’t very strong, so they would take care of them and return.

Glenn put down the letter Travin had first sent and unfolded the one that had just arrived.

“Now they say that monsters are coming up endlessly from the land stained

He lowered his eyebrows deeply.

“They say that no matter how many they kill, they keep coming up, and now the village has been pushed back. They said they requested help because if things continue like this, the nomads’ homeland itself will

Glenn finished reading Travin’s letter and folded it in half.

“Monsters appearing from the land stained

Raon narrowed his eyes, looking at the folded letter.

‘Is it one of the three?’

The birth of the king, the Black Tower, or Eden.

There was a possibility that monsters were gathering there because a new king was born, or there was a possibility that Eden or the Black Tower was meddling.

He felt that he wouldn’t be able to figure out the cause until he saw it for himself.

“It’s not really Zig Hart’s business. It wouldn’t matter if we sent a return order to the Iron

Glenn spoke about the current situation in a voice filled with coldness.

“Will you go anyway?”

He tilted his heavy gaze, as if asking his true intentions.

“Yes, I will

Raon nodded without hesitation.

“It’s not Zig Hart’s business now, but it could become our business soon. Besides, there’s a possibility that Oma is meddling, so it’s right to prevent it though it was happening outside of Zig Hart’s territory, it could become their business someday. It was right to stop it before it got bigger.

“Commander Travin wants to join the Whirlwind Brigade, and he’s already found a mission to show his worth. I like

Raon bowed his head, saying that he wanted to take on this mission.

“Is that so?”

Glenn’s cold expression warmed with a smile, as if pleased with Raon’s answer.

“As you said, it’s the right thing to do to cut off dangerous sprouts before they grow

He nodded calmly and lowered his hand.

“I could have given this mission to the Heavy Duty Brigade, but since the Iron Brigade will be eating from the same pot as the Whirlwind Brigade, it would be best if you

Glenn chuckled faintly, explaining why he had called him.

“I think the same. Thank you for calling me

Raon placed his hand on his chest and bowed his head.

‘This is a perfect

Since it was almost certain that the Iron Brigade would join the Whirlwind Brigade, it wouldn’t be bad to assess the skills of his new subordinates this time.

“As the lord said, the Whirlwind Brigade will take on this support

He bowed his waist, telling Glenn that he would accept the mission.

“It’s an urgent request for support, so there’s no need to report to me separately. Go as soon as you’re

He waved his hand, as if urging him to go.

“I’m also leaving in two days, but you’re just as busy as I

Sheril said that she wouldn’t see him for a while and tilted her chin slightly.

“Be

She waved her hand lightly, saying she’d see him later.

Roen chuckled and stepped forward.

“I don’t think you need any advice, Lord. I just hope you come back

He bowed his head cautiously, as if asking for Travin’s well-being.

Raon greeted Glenn, Roen, and Sheril in turn and left the audience chamber.

“Before, I was a little worried about his

Roen shook his head briefly, looking at the door where Raon had left.

“Now, he just looks reliable. No matter what the Iron Brigade is going through, I think he’ll rescue them

He chuckled, saying that he never thought Raon’s back would become so reliable.

“I felt the same

Sheril nodded, holding her left wrist with her right hand.

“When Raon stood before me during the last mission, it felt like I was looking at the lord. It feels like he won’t lose to anyone, no matter who the enemy

She smiled faintly, saying that she didn’t need to worry about the Iron Brigade.

“Khhm!”

Glenn seemed to be in a good mood because of Sheril and Roen’s praise for Raon, and he slightly twisted his ankles as if he was dancing.

“It’s not that much, he’s just someone who can do what he has to do wherever he

His expression was bright, as if he had turned on the lights, despite his seemingly humble words.

“He was able to move his body even after receiving consecutive attacks with lightning during our sparring match the other day. He’s still inexperienced, but if he gains more experience, there will be few warriors who can stand above

Glenn licked his lips, saying that the only ones above Raon now were the five Huang Oma and the leaders of the Shinju Orryong.

Vice-President Chad approached the platform and bowed his head.

“I received another report on my way to escort Lord

He held out a white envelope from his bosom, bowing his head.

“It’s a letter from the agent who is monitoring the Shinju

“Shinju

Glenn’s warm eyes turned cold as soon as he read the letter Chad handed him.

A cold aura that fit the name “King of the North” too well emanated from him.

“Are they really going to make that foolish choice?”

As soon as Raon left the audience chamber, he returned to the five training grounds.

The Whirlwind Brigade swordsmen had also heard Chad’s words, so they were all waiting in the training grounds.

Raon climbed onto the platform, facing the Whirlwind Brigade’s hardened faces.

Beren, Marta, and Ruan stood in front of their respective squads, maintaininga straight posture, while Mark Gatten stood at the corner of the platform, his hands clasped in front of him.

“As you

Raon looked down at the Whirlwind Brigade swordsmen with calm eyes and opened his lips.

“The Iron Brigade sent a request for support. If it were a simple matter, those who can solve it with their own strength wouldn’t have asked for urgent support, so it will definitely be a dangerous

He nodded his chin, saying that it wouldn’t be an easy mission.

“But, the Iron Brigade also rushed to our side without looking back when we were in danger. Now it’s our turn to help

Raon placed his hand on the Jecheon Sword, saying that it was time to repay the debt he owed.

“You’re saying the obvious. No, even if it wasn’t, we have to go!”

Marta nodded vigorously, shouting that they had to help no matter what if they were from the same family.

“It’s strange to hear the word ‘family’ coming from your

Beren chuckled at Marta.

“But it’s true. It’s right to help your comrades no matter what situation they’re

He clenched his fist, saying that he would save them even if it cost his life.

“Travin. He cried a lot when he thought Raon was

Ruan nodded, saying that Travin was really sad when she went missing.

“Now we have to

She hugged her newly sharpened Seolhwa, saying she really wanted to help.

“It’s to the east? The Hosfun trees that grow there are strong yet flexible, so they’re great!”

Dorian laughed, saying he should pack supplies while he was there.

“Are you obsessed with supplies these days?”

Crane shook his head, saying he couldn’t understand him anymore.

“There’s a ghost who only takes things, so I have to pack them when I get the chance!”

Dorian stomped his foot, subtly insulting someone.

“Mark

Raon called out to Mark Gatten, ignoring Dorian’s words.

“I’ll have to get a new blade after I come

“Of

Mark Gatten chuckled softly, saying it was fine.

“It’s actually good for me. I wanted to have more sparring matches to experience actual combat, so this seems like a good

He nodded his chin, saying it was even better for him, and looked relaxed. It seemed like he had truly grown.

“Then, after you finish preparing for departure, gather here by

“Yes!”

The Whirlwind Brigade shouted as if they were waiting for this, and rushed to their dormitories and homes.

-Khh….

Ras let out a low sigh of admiration, watching the Whirlwind Brigade leave.

-Those guys have really grown a lot. They say you get attached to them if you see them for a long time, and they’re not bad.

He nodded, saying that the Whirlwind Brigade had grown well thanks to his teachings.

‘Well, it’s not entirely

Raon chuckled and nodded.

‘But why are you so quiet?’

-What are you talking about? This king has always been quiet.

Ras tilted his chin, saying that his nickname was the Silent King.

‘What a load of

-Do, don’t call this king crap!

He waved his hand up and down, demanding a retraction.

‘Forget about the Silent King nonsense, you’re usually complaining about sleeping rough and the food, but you’re unusually quiet

He was usually complaining about the food he had to eat while sleeping rough, so it was strange that he was so quiet now.

-I have to endure it because you kept your promise to this king.

Ras said he was enduring it because he had kept his promise to eat whatever he wanted for ten days.

‘Wow, you can even think like that?’

Raon patted Ras on the head with genuine praise.

-Hmph. This king is the ruler of the demon realm! We exchange swords, not compliments!

Ras snorted, his face flushed as if he was pleased with the compliment.

-But you’re not supposed to be thinking about this king right now, are you?

‘What do you mean?’

Raon tilted his head, looking at Ras.

-Your sister. She’s enjoying learning swordsmanship from this king, and she’ll be very happy if you leave!

Ras grinned, as if he was looking forward to seeing Sia’s expression.

Raon swallowed dryly, picturing Sia’s face.

‘Damn

Since it was an urgent support mission, the Whirlwind Brigade all gathered in the five training grounds before evening.

As all the swordsmen stood in formation in front of the platform, Raon entered through the training ground doors.

“What…?”

Beren blinked, looking at Raon walking onto the platform.

“L, Lord. Your

He let out a gasp, looking at Raon’s head, which was bent up like a swallow’s nest.

“Is it Sia’s handiwork?”

Marta giggled, as if she had known it would happen.

“This time, it seems she didn’t tear it too

She waved her hand, saying thankfully.

“I’m

Ruan sighed, saying she didn’t know why she was jealous.

“As expected of Sia! Only Sia can beat the lord!”

Dorian shouted, thumping his chest.

“Even though she’s his sister, I never thought he’d let her do that to him. Do-Gae, isn’t it?”

Crane said that this was the first time he had seen Raon’s weak side and spoke to Do-Gae.

Do-Gae usually would have said he was pathetic, but he, too, was weak against Sia, so he coughed and looked away.

Raon brushed his disheveled golden hair back like Glenn’s and stood at the end of the platform.

“As I said, since it’s an urgent support mission, we won’t have much time to rest. You’ll have to keep moving, so be

If it were before, he would have had to allocate time for rest, but now that everyone in the Whirlwind Brigade was a master, they could minimize even their sleep time.

“This support might be the last mission for the Whirlwind Brigade, so I hope you all see it through to the

Raon met the eyes of each Whirlwind Brigade swordsman and nodded.

“Yes!”

The Whirlwind Brigade swordsmen roared, as if they were waiting for this.

“Then, let’s

Raon stepped down from the platform and walked to the center of the Whirlwind Brigade, who had formed a battle formation.

The swordsmen who were brushed by him followed behind him, forming a shape similar to a sword.

Even though they hadn’t formed a sword formation, they were all boosting each other’s spirits. The Whirlwind Brigade’s advance was accompanied by a heavy yet sharp aura, as powerful as their accumulated swordsmanship.

Raon and the Whirlwind Brigade moved east after using the dimensional gate to travel to the end of Zig Hart’s territory.

They could reach most places within a few days using dimensional gates, but the place the Iron Brigade had crossed was outside their territory, so they had to travel through the night.

Thanks to limiting their sleep time to two hours and eating Nadin bread that they had to eat while listening to Ras’s complaints, they were able to reach the vicinity of their destination more than half a day earlier than the time the Iron Brigade requested.

-Ugh….

Ras wiped his tongue with his hand and shook his head.

-I can handle not sleeping, but I’m going crazy because of this Nadin bread! It’s too tasteless! How can bread taste like rubber?

He chewed his tongue, saying he was going to die.

‘We’re almost

Raon gently patted Ras’s head, who was whimpering like a puppy.

‘We’ll be able to have a proper meal once we put out this urgent fire. Just hold

He could eat Nadin bread for the rest of his life, but Ras and the other swordsmen were having a hard time, so he thought he should take a break and have a proper meal after reaching the village.

Raon chuckled, looking at the Whirlwind Brigade swordsmen climbing the mountain behind him.

‘They’re holding up

If it were before, they would have been exhausted physically and mentally and would have shown that they were tired, but now, none of them were showing any signs of fatigue and were climbing the mountain with firm steps.

-Those little brats are climbing even though they’re tired, so they’d better not complain.

Ras snorted, looking at the younger ones, Yu-A and Yulius, who looked more energetic than the others.

‘That’s

Yu-A and Yulius were trying to avoid burdening their seniors, so they were following behind them with bright faces.

The younger oneswere there, so the swordsmen couldn’t show any signs of fatigue.

“We’ll see the village right after we cross this mountain. Let’s push ourselves a little

He encouraged the Whirlwind Brigade and climbed to the top of the mountain first.

“What…?”

But the nomadic village that should have been to the east was nowhere to be seen.

Wooooooosh!

The mountains and grasslands where the village should have been were filled with a purple sea of ominous light.
